Check out the full photo + behind the scenes video below, where the NFL star poses in nothing but his tatts as he holds a football to cover his man parts, and try to find the blooper:

Covering Ochocinco’s man parts is what many people like to call the good ol’ ‘pigskin.’ And while footballs aren’t made of pig bladders anymore, they’re most definitely still made of leather. As in the material made from tanning cow rawhide and skin.

How embarrassing for PETA?! Shouldn’t they have had a vegan football lying around somewhere? And why didn’t anyone question how Chad “I’m an avid animal lover” Johnson how he deals with having to handle leather balls all day?

And before any of you talk about plastic footballs, you can’t tell us you don’t see the worn edges on that standard-issue Wilson ball.

We’re pretty sure someone at PETA threw up in their mouth just a little bit at the thought of this meat on meat action. (source)

It’s not the first time (or the last) PETA has flubbed in their campaigns. Singer Mario was rockin a leather belt in his PETA ad, while NBA Baller Amare Stoudemire rocked a Gucci belt trimmed in leather is his. I’m thinking PETA is kinda like those vegetarians who eat meat….
